U+5B9B "宛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

宛

U+5B9B "宛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that originally conveys the meaning of "to bend" or "to curve," often metaphorically extending to concepts like "as if" or "resembling," as seen in classical and modern Chinese literature. It is used in words such as "宛然" meaning "just like" or "vividly," and appears in proper names, poetic expressions, and place names like "大宛," an ancient Central Asian kingdom. The character's structure combines the radical "宀" (roof) with a phonetic component, and its historical usage traces back to ancient Chinese texts, where it also carried connotations of gentleness or winding paths. In CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) contexts, "宛" retains similar semantic roles, with slight variations in pronunciation and usage across these languages.
